20120727-3

ES
Open:
Long 1 @ 1380.00. 5m SSC, $TICK has been above zero all day, haven't had a good pull back to enter, decided to go in at around -400 $TICK after a big squeeze higher.

Close:
Sell 1 @ 1380.25. Was eager to get out after taking some heat and a slow moving market. Should've stayed in, $TICK looked good, still not quite comfortable taking this kind of trades. 1 tick profit, 8 ticks heat.

1 contract $12.50 gross, $6.18 net.
For the day $262.50 gross, $225.14 net.
